ALAN CEOCHE, or LA COCHE, otherwise LA ZOUCHE, younger brother of Eudon, or 
Eon, VICOMTE OF PORHOËT, sometime (1148-56) recognized jure uxoris as DUKE OF 
BRITTANY, both being sons of Geoffrey, VICOMTE OF PORHOËT (died 1141), by 
Hawise, daughter of Alan FERGANT, DUKE OF BRITTANY, assented to his brother 
Eudon's charter to the Abbey of Marmoutier in 1153. He is first mentioned in England 
in 1172, when the sheriff of Northants answered for the scutage due from one knight's 
fee on his lands; there are many references to him in lawsuits, 1175-90, and as Alan la 
Zouche of North Molton he was fined in Devon in 1185. He married Alice, daughter 
and (eventually) heir of Philip de BELMEIS, of Tong, Salop, Ashby, co. Leicester, &c., 
by Maud, daughter and coheir of William LE MESCHIN, of Skipton-in-Craven. He died 
1190. [Complete Peerage XII/2:930-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
